Can't let it happen

I just read the fire departments letter in the paper...

As a firefighter's fiance it worries me that the city administration is not hiring more firefighters & is making them work short handed. Not to mention talk of a part volunteer department.

That compromises the safety of our firefighters AND the public. If you live in Marshalltown, call your council persons & tell them to keep our department a FULL TIME department!

It is truly sad. I had read an article that many smaller towns/counties are hiring fewer police/firemen in order to save money. Some have even stopped lighting streetlights. It is a scary world when nobody wants to pay to be safe.
